Chapter 22 Stand on my side
Xu Jiayu clasped her hands, breathing rapidly, and held her head up stubbornly, but the next second a tear fell from her eyes without any warning, and then one drop after another, she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, so she closed her eyes.
The tears were not blocked by this move.
She burst into tears.
Lin Mochen was at a loss. His eyes fell on the woman's thin back, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
He was obviously used to life and death, but Xu Jiayu just cried. Why was his heart so uncomfortable?
Every time the woman trembles, it's like a needle piercing her heart. This pain seems to be more painful than when she learned the news of her parents' death four years ago.
Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. He took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty.
"Sorry..."
"There's nothing to be sorry for, you've always been like this!"
Xu Jiayu grabbed the tote bag on the ground and stood up, but the contents of the bag flew out with inertia. Several old notebooks, some yellowed photos, and a necklace were scattered on the floor.
"Sorry, let me pick it up for you."
"No! I'll do it myself!"
Their hands fell on both ends of the necklace at the same time. It was a snowflake-shaped pendant necklace made of broken diamonds. In the center of the snowflake was a circle of crystal clear blue. That blue made him remember it deeply. It was Aunt Meng's necklace.
Could this be what Xu Jiayu meant by "stealing" just now?
"Let go! Give me back the necklace!"
Lin Mochen was stunned, and just about to let go, the other end of the necklace was suddenly tightened, and the snowflake pendant lost its support and fell to the ground, creating a crystal arc.
Almost instantly, Xu Jiayu suddenly rushed to the snowflake pendant, picked it up tremblingly and put it against her chest. She just knelt on the ground, her body trembling but she didn't make a sound.
I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly stood up and rushed out of the room.
"Xu Jiayu! Where are you going so late?"
Lin Mochen also ran out the door. The sensor lights came on one after another, but there was no woman. The two elevators were safely stopped and not running. He rushed to the stairs, and just after running down the tenth floor, he suddenly stopped and looked up behind him.

Two days ago, Xu Jiayu went to the hospital to deliver food to Lin Mochen, only to find that no one was home when he returned home.
Since returning to H City, He Guifang has been guarding her as much as she is a thief. The belongings of Ms. Meng and Xu Boyuan have been locked in the second bedroom. He Guifang follows her every time she makes an excuse to go in.
Speaking of which, she actually admires He Guifang. She has lived in S city for ten years and has not learned much local dialect. However, He Guifang can no longer hear the accent of outsiders. In addition, she deliberately imitates Ms. Meng's hairstyle. There is no trace of the appearance that he had when he first entered the city.
She thought it was a rare opportunity that day, so she kicked the door open when she couldn't pry it open. She wanted to take the relics left by Ms. Meng and leave, but she didn't expect that He Guifang led Xu Chen within ten minutes of entering the house. When he came back, he kept calling her a thief.
She is a thief, so who is He Guifang?
Xu Jiayu was so angry that he carried his luggage and left. Who would have thought that he would meet Lin Mochen in a convenience store.
Thinking of this, she rubbed her eyes, looked at the snowflake necklace in her hand and sighed.
Ms. Meng loves to dress up the most. She wears thin necklaces when wearing thin tops, thick necklaces when wearing thick tops, long necklaces when wearing clothes with small necklines, etc. However, at that time, she still liked to play with mud and rub sand, so she didn’t care about these things. .
And now there is only this necklace in the jewelry box left by Ms. Meng. He Guifang and Ms. Meng are two completely different people. She still can't figure out why Xu Boyuan falls in love with that kind of woman.
The tears fell easily and were wiped away by her.
Xu Jiayu, you are so pretentious, you cry every day! There is nothing to cry about! Don’t be afraid of those people finding out and laughing at you!
"Sure enough, I'm here." "Lin...Lin Mochen? How do you know I'm here?"
No. 18 Changqing Road has a total of twelve floors. There is an elevator room up the stairs, but it is locked by the property all year round. Unless the elevator breaks down, basically no one will come here.
The first time Lin Mochen knew this place, he was dragged here by little Xu Jiayu.
In my memory, it was a weekend, and little Xu Jiayu knocked on the door of his house with red eyes, and the white snot that had dried up was still hanging on her face. It didn't take much to think that she was going to get into trouble with Uncle Xu or Aunt Meng.
"Lin Mochen, what are you doing?"
Xiaolin Mochen pointed at the time behind him, "It's nap time at 12 noon, of course I'm sleeping."
Little Xu Jiayu sniffed, "It's a day off today! It's such a waste to use it to sleep! Do you want to see my secret base?"
Lin Mochen has known how to "keep a distance" from others since he was a child, but when he heard little Xu Jiayu mention the word "secret", he nodded inexplicably.
So under the command of little Xu Jiayu, he took all his pocket money and went to the canteen at the entrance of the community to buy a bag of snacks, and then he was dragged here by little Xu Jiayu.
The pale stair light in my memory went out at some point, leaving only the safety exit indicator light emitting a green glow.
"People who cry too loudly can't sleep. I'm afraid that the neighbors will complain to the management, so I came out to take a look." Lin Mochen crossed his arms and frowned, "Who knew there was someone squatting pitifully in the stairwell pretending to be a ghost and crying? It's okay. I discovered it, and the consequences would be unimaginable if someone else discovered it.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Who is pretending to be a ghost!"
Lin Mochen took a half step back, "No? At twelve o'clock at midnight, in the stairwell, under the dim green light, the woman had disheveled hair and a pale face. If the grandson of the aunt next door saw her, she would probably cry on the spot."< br>
"Lin Mochen, you are so naive! And! Who is crying? I didn't cry."
"Ms. Xu is not mature enough! She is thirty years old and she still says things like, 'I'm not crying.' I'm short-sighted but not blind."
"Lin Mochen, you..."
"Oh! Sanin? Come on, come to the west!"
Along with the woman's voice, a ray of light shone on Lin Mochen's face, "Oh! It's Xiao Lin? Who are you talking to? Why don't you go home and sleep in the stairwell at night?"
The aunt next door was wrapped in a shawl and walking towards the stairwell as she talked. Xu Jiayu glanced at Lin Mochen and wiped her tears and ran down the stairs in a hurry.
"Auntie! Sorry for scaring you."
Seeing Aunt Xu Jiayu, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh! You two are quite affectionate. You can hide in the stairwell at midnight without getting too scared. Okay! Go home quickly! Go home quickly!"
The tote bag had been packed up again and placed at the door of the bedroom where she lived.
Xu Jiayu looked at Lin Mochen behind him, "Dr. Lin, no matter what, thank you very much for your help these days, but the Xu family's affairs are my bottom line. There are some things that are difficult to understand if you are not a person in the game. Without others, Don’t try to persuade others to be kind. Even if you are my enemy, please stand by me.”
Xu Jiayu picked up the tote bag and turned around and entered the house.
"Even as my enemy, please stand by my side..."
Lin Mochen recited this sentence repeatedly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice.
